Half a century, 5 decades have past since I saw first light at my mothers side.
A lot has happened since then, nothing special I like to think, except maybe one memorable situation which makes it stand out more in comparison to most other people. though even of that I am not sure!!
But for me, and most people I tell my story to, I get the feeling its somewhat exceptional though. BUT I am not going to bother you with that story right now.
Only thing I disclose here is that it feels wonderfull to be playing in overtime for 12 years now and with some luck this overtime might last allmost as long as the actual playingtime, if not more :-)) OK lets not sell the bears skin before the poor animal has been shot, a dutch saying says.
I only know that I not only have to thank my mother today for being here, also my docter Ineke van de Ende of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, who coordinated and directed the saving of my life, now 12 years ago.... though of what she told me at the time, she had no clue what had happened that made me walk out of the hospital, instead of leaving flat in a box! At the time I was the exception on the rule and she was so proud of that finally happening to her that she danced at my bedside the night before my discharge!
And I can tell you, I never expected that the overtime I so unexpectedly got and still enjoy, could be so nice and wonderfull.
A life regained is a life one should not waste, and I can only hope and pray that I am not doing any such thing!
Now I am on the brink of doing something exceptional again, well, at least for me that is.... by not only getting married to Kik tomorrow, but also to try to build a life in Thailand together with him from the day after tomorrow............ with all my limitations I hope my life with Kik will be blessed with good health, luck and fortune for the two of us and a long and happy life together in blessed harmony!
